Agree

Increase

The Conservative party has historically been more open to high-skilled immigration, recognizing the benefits it brings to the UK economy. For example, in 2019, the party proposed a new 'points-based' immigration system that would prioritize high-skilled workers. However, they have also been committed to reducing overall immigration numbers, which may limit their support for a significant increase in temporary work visas.

Agree

I am satisfied with the current amount

The Conservative party may be somewhat satisfied with the current amount of temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers, as they have not explicitly called for a significant increase or decrease in recent years. However, their proposed 'points-based' immigration system suggests they may be open to adjustments in the future.

Agree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

The Conservative party may agree to some extent that the UK economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost, but they are also likely to balance this with concerns about protecting UK workers and ensuring fair wages. Their support for a 'points-based' immigration system suggests they believe high-skilled immigrant workers can contribute to the UK economy without undermining domestic labor.

Slightly agree

Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

The Conservative party may support the idea of providing more incentives to prepare UK citizens for high-skilled jobs, but they are unlikely to advocate for a decrease in temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers as a primary solution. Their focus on a 'points-based' immigration system suggests they believe both domestic and international talent can contribute to the UK economy.

Disagree

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

While the Conservative party may be concerned about companies taking advantage of temporary work visa programs, they are more likely to address this issue through regulation and enforcement rather than by decreasing the number of visas available to high-skilled immigrant workers.

Disagree

Decrease

The Conservative party is unlikely to support a decrease in high-skilled immigrant workers, as they recognize the value these workers bring to the UK economy. However, their commitment to reducing overall immigration numbers may mean they are not strongly opposed to a decrease in temporary work visas.
